Professional Development: An Update on the State of Cannabis in TN

The landscape of cannabis and legalization is ever changing. With recent policy changes in 2023, Tennessee is now using best practices to protect young people from cannabis compounds such as Delta 8. However, there is still more we can do and learn as states throughout the nation continue to legalize cannabis, specifically those bordering Tennessee. Kristina Clark with KM Clark Consulting will join us to talk about recent law changes, 2018 Farm Bill, prevalence of smoke shops, and legalization trends.


Kristina Clark is the President and Founder of KM Clark Consulting Group, a consulting company dedicated to developing and sustaining non-profits. Kristina Clark served as the Executive Director of the Coffee County Anti-Drug Coalition from 2007-2016. Ms. Clark has dedicated herself to non-profit work since graduating from Middle Tennessee State University in May of 2006 with a Bachelor’s of Science in psychology and minors in mental services and sociology. Before serving as the Coalition Executive Director, Kristina held positions as a domestic violence court advocate and in home counselor for at risk youth. In 2012, Ms. Clark earned her Certified Prevention Specialist II and now trains on a national level as a trainer for the Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America’s (CADCA) National Coalition Academy. She also trains nationally on the prevention of alcohol and drug abuse as well as non-profit management and capacity building.

Hello CHASCo Members, The annual Baxter Award recognizes the extraordinary contributions of CHASCo members who have gone above and beyond their everyday work to achieve excellence in higher education prevention programming. We are currently taking nominations for this award. Submit your nominations here by April 5, 2024. We have just extended the deadline to allow for additional submissions. Please note that all decisions and deliberations will be completed by the CHASCo Executive Committee. CHASCo staff is not involved in the decision-making process. Our executive committee will use a scoring system to evaluate the nominees on criteria including how the candidates have gone above and beyond to address the prevention of substance use, suicide, sexual or interpersonal violence, and related prevention issues; and their success at fostering cross-campus collaboration at the local, state, and/or national level. Best, Kayce
